After failing his graduation exam, Naruto Uzumaki was tricked by Mizuki into stealing the scroll from the Hokage Residence, stating that if Naruto can learn one technique within it, he would be allowed to graduate (which at the end, turned out to be true).

Trivia

In the manga, Mizuki stated that he wanted the scroll for himself for power, but in the anime extension arc, it was stated that he intended to give the scroll to his master, Orochimaru.
